A review by baraino
Helen of Troy by Margaret George

2.0

This started with great promise, the back story and childhood of Helen was detailed and unique. A retelling where this heroine finally had some spine! Her developing relationship with Menelaus was heart breaking,

Then... Nothing? Just pages to turn.

It seemed that once they left Sparta that I was reading a series of vignettes that allowed the author to cross items off her outline. There were no other characters to love, or even hate.
